All in favour of the &#8220;year&#8221; aka 2026. Along with tvOS, Watch OS&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>MacOS Tahoe, like iOS 26, adopts Apple&#8217;s new <strong>Liquid Glass material design<\/strong>. Liquid Glass is translucent and it <strong>behaves like glass<\/strong> would in the real world, reflecting light and the color that&#8217;s behind it.<\/p>\n<p>Liquid Glass extends to <strong>desktop icons<\/strong>, <strong>folders<\/strong>, the <strong>Dock<\/strong>, <strong>in-app navigation<\/strong>, <strong>menus<\/strong>, <strong>toolbars<\/strong>, and the <strong>Control Center<\/strong>. The <strong>menu bar is translucent<\/strong>, revealing more of the display so it feels larger.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Control Center is customizable<\/strong>, as is the menu bar, and users can adjust the layout and choose what apps and controls appear in both places.<\/p>\n<p>There are options to <strong>set colors<\/strong> for <strong>folders<\/strong>, <strong>app icons<\/strong> and <strong>widgets<\/strong>. App icons support <strong>light and dark tints<\/strong>, and the same <strong>clear look<\/strong> that&#8217;s available on iOS. <strong>Folders<\/strong> can get colors and <strong>emoji characters<\/strong>, making them more recognizable at a glance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Safari<\/strong> has an updated <strong>tab design<\/strong> that&#8217;s rounded and floating in the toolbar, with a new look for tabs and favorites. The <strong>sidebar has been redesigned<\/strong> to make it easier to find saved content like iCloud Tabs. Apple also made Safari faster, and it is <strong>50 percent quicker<\/strong> at loading frequently visited websites than Chrome. It&#8217;s more secure, too, with Apple adding <strong>advanced fingerprinting protection<\/strong> in all browsing by default.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/2025\/06\/macos-tahoe-26-makes-the-mac-more-capable-productive-and-intelligent-than-ever\/\">Find out more about Mac OS Tahoe from Apple!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MacOS 26 Tahoe is the newest version of macOS reported at the June WW Dev Conference, set to launch this fall.
